Sentry Interlocks
Door Interlocking Systems
Door interlock systems are used to control the entry and exit of personnel and material in a secured area with multiple doors to prevent simultaneous openings. Door interlocking two or more doors results in what is typically called an airlock or mantrap. Door interlocks provide an added level of security and safety in a controlled environment. When used in sterile or sanitary applications, Door interlocking can be used to manage airflow to preserve air purity and restrict contamination between rooms so that production quality is not impacted.
Designing, building and installing a Door interlock system can prove to be a complicated and difficult task. There are so many variables involved with deploying a Door interlocking system. The number one issue is ensuring that the interlocking scheme between multiple doors is designed properly and allows the movement of personnel and material in a logical and safe fashion. From the mechanical side, there are a wide variety of door types, electric locks, door position sensors and door accessories that need to be integrated into a cohesive system. Incorporating Access Control, Building Management Systems (BMS) and Fire Alarm systems adds yet another layer of complexity.
